Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Hmmmm, lots of potential but not risk free, taking a defensive D Man at 10th overall seems like a bit of a reach. That KHL experience is good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 “I see a lot of similarities with the skating, the range of play, the way he defends and the way he handles things from an overall point of view to Victor Hedman,” said Button. “Silayev’s skating is outstanding. “Silayev, like Hedman, is not worried about impressing anybody. He’s just going to play; he’s not worried about showing himself off. He’s just a really good hockey player and at 17 years of age, I can’t imagine where he’ll be at 20.” Well that’s certainly quite a comp.

I googled him and apparently McKenzie referred to Silayev as a ‘unicorn’ because of how well he skates for his height. He sounds like a fvcking stud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglethorpe13 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Larionov is his coach, and has apparently compared his game to Lidstrom's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max20Characters Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 That ESPN jingle is killing me. It always goes off as a name is being announced. ESPN continues to ruin everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessus Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The Devils must really love Silayev. With how Dennehy raved about Helenius, Nygard, and especially Dickinson (all of whom were still available), Silayev must have been very high on their list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckbuster Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I hope it works out. For now, I will remain cautiously optimistic. However, I don’t understand, why not go for Sam Dickinson? Did Fitz just go for the tallest player available? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy has never coached up there before. he could a perfect fit. It’s not like he had a stacked roster that went undefeated for like 15 straight games to start the year, Olympic medaling goalie who was arguably the best American goalie at his time, and completely wasted his prime. All hinging on two words he yelled over and over at a Stanley cup LOSING celebration, the closest he ever came to being a champion, 25 years ago.
